Revvin' up your engine listen to her howlin' roar

Kotori’s curiosity was piqued at the notion a pack he’d not heard much of had already lost its alpha.  Well, Kotori would not allow that to happen to him.  He had plans for a great and glorious pack that would leave its mark on the land.  Kotori could not die until he had children old enough to carry on in his place.  As far as his goals he intended to run his pack until grey was on his muzzle and a child or grandchild sat in charge of his pack.  So was the dream, so it would be reality.  By blood sweat, his pack would rise to greatness.

“Interesting.  Any assumptions on who caused the foul play?  If that is what happened at least.”  The pack mentioned certainly wasn’t part of the empire and had never become a pack known for any great and many deeds.  If it was so well known surely Kotori would know of it after all.

“Challenging for a pack is a good plan, it proves your value and worth.  Others will take notice.  My one suggestion would be not to challenge any that are part of the empire.  The number of strong allies and their ties by blood or close friendship runs deep.  For instance, I am the son of Sirius Fatalis.  Azure, my brother is running the pack for the moment.  Down south, in the Hallows, my sister Briar is the queen.  Ashen and Armada used to have lands back to back for a long time, we shared the border, open to let each pack cross into the others land.  If one is challenged you can imagine the others would react.”

Seeming to consider his words Kotori added, "Don't misunderstand. I did not seek out any of my family's help to make my own pack.  There is no sense of accomplishment, nor is their proof to the world of ones abilities if a pack is simply handed to you.  I will shed what blood I need to and work without rest as long as it takes to make my goals reality."  Dad had asked Kotori what he had wanted before he set off on his own.  Kotori imagined he could of asked for many things but the main request Kotori had was an alliance and ale for the party that would come up later.

A small shrug of indifference given, “Do as you will of course.”  Who could even say if the stranger would make a good alpha?  She wasn’t of noble birth as far as Kotori could tell.
